Governance:
The Board’s—and the CIO’s—Business
A Compuware White Paper
www.compuware.com
Abstract
The new regulatory environment has intensified governance
and risk-management demands on CEOs, CFOs and their boards
of directors. The large amount of money companies spend on
information technology, and the strategic opportunities and risks
those investments present, necessitates board-level risk-management
and governance activities for IT. Unfortunately, IT remains a
neglected function for most corporate boards—a situation some
experts believe could lead to very visible failures.
That deficiency
has intensified the importance of IT governance at the departmental
level within enterprises. CIOs will be called upon more often to
demonstrate that they have the essential components of sound IT
governance in place:
- Effective decision making and a strong focus on process
- IT project and systems portfolios that are aligned with business
priorities
- An efficient, cost-effective IT department
- Strong decision making by high-performing IT employees
- Satisfied customers
- Complete audit capabilities supporting each of these points.
This paper will examine the critical elements for effective IT
governance and the need for incorporating these frameworks into
corporate governance. It will also identify how CIOs need to be
prepared to support IT oversight committees at the board level.
